We have a daughter!

Hi everyone,

We are so happy to announce the referral of our daughter!! This news came at just the right time since we (well, Jim to be exact) have been going through a health crisis the past two weeks. For those of you that do not know - Jim's appendix ruptured and he had surgery on the 27th of January but he was back in the hospital on the 1st of February. He developed an abscess. He is doing much better now and he is slowly healing.

I got the call on Monday afternoon and we accepted the referral on Tuesday morning. I feel like I am looking at a picture of a very cute baby but reality has not set in quite yet that this is our little girl.

Her info:

Madeline Xiao Xing Kikuko Downie
DOB: May 17, 2007
Residing: Yangdong Social Welfare Institute (China)

More details to come later...

Crystal, Jim and Abby

I'm an uncle. This great. I showed the pictures to her cousin Joey and he smiled. She's beautiful. I'm so happy for the parents.

Crystal this is wonderful news! We'll have to get Madeline and Jack together when she arrives, she's just a couple of months younger. Neat to think that Madeline and Jack were growing in bellies (AND IN HEARTS!) at the same time!

XOXO Carrie

We are so happy for all four of you! Maddy is very fortunate to have such wonderful, caring and loving parents, and we know she will bless both of you in many ways (ways you haven't even imagined yet)! Braeden can't wait to meet his new playmate!
Love, Keith, Shawna & Braeden
